you have to be using chrome with useless adblockers for archive to work and 12ft is useless against bloomberg (unless you're using chrome w shitty adblockers)

It's wild we can't even do the basics of our purported values. We can't even do the basic fundamentals of democracy without utterly borking it and making it worse. Super simple stuff like "The people who live in a place should shape the laws of their place." we can't even do that.

i'm convinced it's by design: wave the flag of democracy so that the clueless 1/3 of us will buy into it and support whatever shit you want and you'll never have to lift a finger because that 1/3 will trip over themselves to defend their miseducation to the death.

I remember almost a decade ago Chris Hayes wrote Colony in a Nation that went into this phenomenon. Never read it but got the gist by living in a city that has a state with "state preemption" laws

paywalled and archive.is doesn't work; it keeps asking for captcha nonstop

UPDATE: archive.is only works if you're using chrome and only have shitty ad blockers installed.
